This article discusses the importance of giving yourself the credit for your articles before you post them to other article directories online. Do not post your articles online before you perform this important step.
Give Myself Credit For My Article?
Search engines rank articles in order of importance, content, and credit. The 1st article directories, blog sites, or personal web sites to post original content get credit for that content. It's like saying, "this directory" owns the article, all the others are simply using a copy of it.
Eventually your article will get posted on potentially 100's of web sites. Search engines need to know where the content originated from. This is why it's important to post your articles within your own blog, or web site before you submit them online to other sites.
What Does The Article Credit Do For You?
1st of all, credited web sites typically rank higher for the content with the article. This doesn't mean that if you write something about "Submitting Articles" you will come up 1st in the list of searches, but it does mean that when it comes to ranking your article, your site will show up higher than other directories.
This also helps to give your "author name" the credit as well. For instance, if someone searches for your name, this step helps to give more importance for your own site or blog, and not other article directories before you. When you perform a search for your name, this strategy will help to list your site 1st, not other article directories.
How Should I Do This?
Many authors write an article and want to get it posted within article directories as soon as possible. I understand the thought process behind this, but it's a big mistake. I suggest you create a system for posing articles within your own web site or blog, and a system for posting those same articles within other directories. Here's an example....
Article #1:
Step 1) Post the original article within your site or blog 1st. Step 2) Wait for Google to index your new article by viewing the "cache" snapshot of your article. Step 3) Once "cached", submit a smaller version of the same article online.
The key is to make sure that Google has already been to your site, or blog and listed your article before you start submitting it online.
This process may take days, it may even take weeks depending on the popularity and the importance of your web site, but the key is to make sure that you wait until this process happens.
Sometimes I like to post articles within my blog months before submitting them within articles directories. Even then, I tend to post my articles within my own article directories before submitting them to other directories. This way, I'm giving search engines a hierarchy to go by to determine what sites should get credit for the article.
Don't Post The "Extended" Article To Directories Online:
Another strategy I use is to create 2 different versions for the same article.
The 1st version will be extremely detailed including pictures, references online, and comments.
The 2nd article will be down-graded from the 1st article which I will use to post within other article directories. This helps search engines to determine that the original content on my site is more important because there is more content than what they find within other directories. This useful strategy can also have a great effect on double ranking by giving search engines 2 original articles instead of just the one. The 1st will be slightly different than the 2nd.
A 3rd strategy is to create different titles & descriptions when submitting the same article to different directories online. When a PR manager sends out a certain press release to different newspaper editors, they will typically create different versions of the same press release so that each newspaper doesn't feel like they are reporting the same news as their competition. This simple but effective strategy can drastically increase your traffic for each article within each article directory that you submit to.
In Conclusion:
Make sure to give yourself credit for each article you want to post online. Give search engines time to index your article before submitting it to other directories. Try and be creative when posting the same article 100's of times online.
